The ratio of the volumes of the two spheres is 27: 343 and the sum of their radii is 10 units. find the radius of the smaller sphere.

R + R = 10
4/3 r³ π : 4/3 R³ π = 27 : 343
r ³ : R ³ = 27 : 343  / ∛
r : R = 3 : 7
3 R = 7 r
R = 7 r / 3
r + 7 r / 3 = 10   / · 3
3 r + 7 r = 30
10 r = 30
r = 30 : 10
r =  3
the radius of the smaller sphere is 3.

If you need an equation, it would be y=2x+8, y would be how long it grew, x being weeks.if you need how long he was asleep, it would be 4 weeks if he started with no beard, the equation would be x=8÷2if he did have a beard before hand, the equation would be 2w+x=8
